The original version of this Article contained errors as a result of an error caused during data transmission in which incorrect column conversion occurred leading to the reported mismatch in specificity outcomes.


As a result, in the Abstract,


“For fibrinogen, the value of 519 mg/dl had a sensitivity of 0.90 and a specificity of 0.34.”


now reads:


“For fibrinogen, the value of 519 mg/dl had a sensitivity of 0.90 and a specificity of 0.66.”


In the Biomarker Results section,


“For fibrinogen, a value of 573.5 mg/dl had a sensitivity of 0.81 and a specificity of 0.25. The value of 519 mg/dl had a sensitivity of 0.90 and a specificity of 0.34.”


now reads:


“For fibrinogen, a value of 573.5 mg/dl had a sensitivity of 0.81 and a specificity of 0.75. The value of 519 mg/dl had a sensitivity of 0.90 and a specificity of 0.66.”


Additionally, there was an error in the Material and Methods section where,


“We performed univariate logistic regressions and calculated non-linear mixed models with a first-order autoregressive covariance structure. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC curves) were plotted.”


now reads:


“We performed univariate logistic regressions and plotted receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC curves).”


These errors have now been corrected in the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
